Luka Koper Sees Record-Breaking Profits

Slovenia's sole commercial port posts impressive growth in profit and cargo throughput, setting new records for container and passenger traffic

Luka Koper, Slovenia’s only commercial port operator, has reported a 7% increase in net profit for 2024, reaching €60 million.

This growth is largely attributed to a 6% rise in sales revenue, which hit €330 million.

The port saw a 3% increase in overall cargo transshipment, with container throughput reaching a record high of 1.13 million TEU, a 6% increase.

The passenger terminal also achieved a historic milestone, welcoming 125,276 travelers.

However, despite the record achievements, there was a slight decline in the handling of bulk and dry cargo.

Car shipments also dropped by 3% to 884,666 units, driven by lower sales in key markets. Operational costs rose by 13%, reflecting increased staffing and inflation-adjusted wages.

Luka Koper employed 2,255 people by the end of 2024, a 33-person increase compared to the previous year, although the number of agency workers declined.
